Chapter 4 Cho's decree
"Every weekend?" Ron eyed her oddly the next morning as he poured syrup over his pancakes. "Sounds a little extreme to me."
"You see Lavender every day," she said.
"That," Ron said, blushing, "That's different. This is Viktor Krum, all the way in Bulgaria."
"I… I love him," Hermione said defiantly, staring at Harry who was by the doorway with Cho. Ron choked on his pancakes.
She gave a small gasp, and then smacked him on the back.
"Lo…love?" he panted, now chugging down pumpkin juice.
She nodded as Harry gave Cho a kiss, and made his way over to their table.
"Isn't Cho great?" Harry asked dreamily.
Hermione and Ron exchanged glances.
"She's so great at Quidditch too," Harry said.
Hermione gave a small snort. Cho might have an athletic body, but Hermione's brain weighed more than Cho could bench. And that, she thought, feeling a tad happier, was that, and she nibbled on a slice of bacon.
Things seemed like the way they were before all through breakfast, just the three of them laughing and remembering the times they had spent together over the past six years.
That was until, breakfast ended.
Lavender looped her arm through Ron's and lead him away, and Harry raced over to the Ravenclaw table.
Hermione sighed, and got up, preparing to walk the lonely halls of the castle alone to Transfiguration.
"Hermione?" a small voice squeaked behind her.
Hermione turned around and saw the youngest Weasley, Ginny, her bottom lip trembling. "Ginny!" Hermione said. "What's wrong?"
"So, it's true then," she replied. "Harry's with Cho."
Hermione felt herself go red. She had forgotten how much Ginny adored Harry. "Yeah, he is…"
Ginny shook her head. "I hate her. You should have heard the things she was saying about us."
Hermione's eyes bugged out. "Excuse me?
"Radelia Armstrong, a friend of Cho's, I heard her talking in the bathroom. She was saying about how we embarrass Harry."
"Oh Really!" Hermione huffed.
"Yeah," Ginny said.
"She's got some nerve!" Hermione shouted, loud enough to have the remaining students glance at her.
"Who has been there for him for the past six years!? Who has he had the time of his life with, who has he confided in, trusted in, we're his family!"
"I know, I know," Ginny said, looking carelessly around.
Hermione saw her gaze stop at Malfoy, and saw Ginny's cheeks going red as she grinned.
Hermione's heart leapt into her throat as Malfoy smiled…. Smiled, not smirked back at Ginny.
As Ron would say, what in the bloody hell was going on here?
"Ginny?" Hermione asked.
Ginny snapped her attention back to Hermione, now practically scarlet.
"Is there something you want to tell me?"
"No," Ginny said. "See you later, Hermione," and she exited out of the Great Hall. Malfoy did after her.
